I loved Pivotal Tracker's user story "weight" feature where you couldn't assign more than x points worth of work to your team in a certain iteration, based on past velocity, as it simply wouldn't fit and spill over to the backlog. Is anything like that available in Trello as well? From what I've seen, you have to count the amount of work by hand.

Also, I'm not quite getting the recommended way of "completing" tasks. Archiving just hides them, which makes it hard to go back and analyze how well you did in that iteration. Right now I'm just dumping everything into a "completed" list, although unless you archive everything that came before in there, you have to manually figure out what was completed in this iteration and what in the ones before. Creating separate "completed" lists for each iteration will probably not scale as it will generate dozens of lists you'll have to archive and filter through every time you're looking for something.

try creating a 'completed in interaction X' list for every iteration. archive the previous list once you create a new one. this way you will have it out of the way and still preserve the history
Good idea, trying that out now!
